PDX Airport’s New 9 Acre Wood Roof….As if It Were Grown There | Jacob Dunn Imagine a building that not only enhances its environment — but looks like it grew there! Sounds like something from a fantasy movie? Not anymore. Jacob Dunn, a visionary in sustainability-focused architecture, shares the transformative story behind the redesign of PDX Airport's new main terminal, featuring a 9-acre mass timber roof, forest-like shading, and an array of living trees. This project is not just a renovation — it's a reimagining of how buildings interact with their natural surroundings and impact their local and regional ecosystems. Through unprecedented transparency in sourcing from native and small-holder properties, every piece of wood used is traceable back to its origin, showcasing a profound level of accountability and connection to the land. Jacob emphasizes that this level of detail and dedication to sustainability isn't reserved for monumental projects like airports. He’s inspiring and equipping architects and builders everywhere, regardless of project size, to adopt similar practices. This initiative is about making sustainable, traceable sourcing the norm, not the exception, in how we build. Explore how the PDX renovation project is crafting a future where architecture and nature exist in harmony. 🔗 Watch the full talk now on YouTube https://lnkd.in/gntDmdpn Let us know your key takeaways from Jacob's talk in the comments below.

Filed under 'things I did (way) before the CS/coding days'. I'll also pay remembrance to three facts regarding the 'Twin Towers II' plan: it had fully detailed 'shovel ready' blueprints for the entire complex, Donald Trump volunteered to develop it at-cost (i.e. without profit), and it would have been fully completed by 2008. I was at least able to virtually rebuild them back in the AZ-LIVE Lab days via a project for Dr. Patrick Baliani's honors freshmen courses WRT 'Architectural Influences In Literature'; in which 'Baliani City' contained a number of famous landmarks including the original WTC. Although believe that commercial skyscraper construction will continue to decline for all the obvious reasons, I also believe that the legendary Twin Towers will rise again over an American city: reembodied just as Glorfindel into a bigger, better, and stronger form. #rebuild

Here's a section cut slicing the historic Baltimore ice factory we scanned a few months ago. It's the three-story portion at the south end of the industrial plant originally built in 1905.⁠ According to the Historic-Structures.com website, this area "featured the engine room on the first floor and filters on the second floor, third floor and roof. The Sanborn map indicates elevator motors at the southern end where equipment for hoisting large blocks of ice was likely to be located." ⁠ This part of our as-built documentation of the Lalibela project for PI.KL Studio who will be reimagining the site as a home for technology, culture, community, film and television production.⁠ ⁠ #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture #adaptivereuse #heritagebuildings #historicrenovation #redevelopment #adaptivereusearchitecture #historic #historical #historicbuildings #historicbuilding #abandonedplaces #abandonedbuilding #abandonedbuildings #abandonedfactory #oldfactory #oldfactories #oldfactorybuilding #architecture #architect #architecturelovers #architecturedesign #brick #redbrick #baltimore #baltimorecity #baltimoreart #baltimorearchitecture #filmproduction

I have often said installing windows is a pane. Next week (June 13, 100 PMEastern) I will be delivering a webinar focused on the installation of punched windows in today's well-insulated walls. This presentation tries to summarize our experience and knowledge to provide a state-of-the art description of how designers and buildings can get the water, air, and thermal control continuity we want and the structural support that is a must. I hope you can attend! https://lnkd.in/g9vCPQy5

Great conference here in Detroit, setting the stage for where the "investment puck" (yes I love hockey analogies) is headed in the months to come in FDI and corporate location strategy and site selection. #FDI #realestate #siteselection #economicdevelopment #capitalinvestment
